Just got ‘Metal: Hellsinger’ It’s pretty fun take on the Doom-like Shooter genre.

Also got ‘Dredge’. Very chill, while being a creepy lovecraftian fishing game.

Both games are really good, if a bit short. But for the discounted price, the length of them is just fine.

averyminya,

Thanks for reminding me of Hellsinger! I played the demo but forgot to wishlist it!

Huh, didn’t even realize it had started.

Taking a look at my wishlist, and seems like I’ve got enough in my wallet to snag a couple of heavy sale games purely from all the cards I’ve sold on the marketplace.

May not get anything, though. Got tons of other shit to play and I’m not aching for anything in particular, although Charrua Soccer and Kopanito All-Star Soccer might be options because I want some good old fashioned arcade football and they seem fun enough.

Oh, and Shadow Gambit and Desperados 3, mainly because getting them now is one of the last opportunities to actually have the money go directly to Mimimi (the developers), who are shutting down end of year (which at least was their own choice and not because some publisher/holding company fired them).

Edit: Oh, I might get one of Frogware’s Sherlock games. Don’t know what the consensus is on the newer ones.

Not exactly hidden gems, but I finally bought Stray. Also decided to pick up Xenonauts. I can’t decide whether I should grab Phoenix Point though. I keep eyeing up Terra Invicta too, but I’m almost positive it’s going to be a bit too much micromanagement for me to enjoy it.

Meh. I’m seeing a lot of prices that aren’t even that close to historical lows. e.g. Mass Effect Legendary was $10 somewhere recently but now it’s $12 on Steam (though I’m not giving EA any money for it until they fix the stupid launcher for good on Steam Deck).

Prototype is like $4 though, might snag that if I don’t already own a copy elsewhere.

BmeBenji,

palpatine voice do it.

Prototype is among the most fun open world games to just screw around in. Right up there with Marvel’s Spider-man and Just Cause 3

One of the worst protagonists in all of video games, but it is also a lot of fun.

Deconceptualist,

Some others:

  • Cloudbuilt, currently $6.99, lowest $2.99

Lojcs,

Steam reviews for prototype aren’t very positive

I snagged a bunch of Williams pinball tables already. Very excited to be able to play No Good Gophers in the comfort of my own home.

May also finally pull the trigger on Cyberpunk now.

MrGerrit, (edited )

I was tempted to buy some tables for pinball FX but I already have all available tables for fx3 and it feels like I’m keep buying them and they release a new version of the game/engine so I have to rebuy them again for the better experience…

six_arm_spider_man,
@six_arm_spider_man@reddthat.com avatar

I get that. I didn’t rebuy anything I already have. I have tables scattered across all 3 versions of PinballFx out there and it’s super irritating.

spriteblood,

FWIW I can't speak to the pre-2.0 update but I'm having a lot of fun with Cyberpunk 2077. Solid AAA game, and it seems like they hammered out a lot of the performance issues from earlier in its life.

Have a look at Dwarf Fortress too. It could melt your brain.

I read the title thinking about DF or crusader kings. Nope, deep rock galactic. Wut?

ModernRisk, do gaming w Steam Sale Games

Unfortunately not at all. I was excited for Persona 5 Royal and was prepared to purchase it again (got it on PS5). Wanted to play it with a Trainer for fun.

However the discount is meh for an rebuy, it’s like €35(?). Was more hoping for €15-20.

spriteblood,

I'm waiting for them to remove Denuvo DRM before I buy. I'd love to play it on PC with higher resolution (and hopefully framerates) but that DRM is a dealbreaker for me, unfortunately.

ModernRisk,

If they remove Denuvo, I won’t buy it very honestly. The community I’m in should say enough hah.

But yeah, you’re right. Best thing even for legit players is Denuvo being removed.

DoctorButts,

P5R is mildly tempting even though I also own it for PS4. I think I will pass on it until it goes under $20. I also want to hang onto my gaming cash in case Persona 3 Reloaded ends up being legitimately good.

ModernRisk,

I’m very curious as well about Persona 3 Reload! I’ll wait a few months after it is out to see the reviews and overall game.

If you’re really struggling to click with a game, I’ve found watching a “let’s play” on YouTube helps me out.

Koordinator_O, do gaming w How are you all playing these insanely complex games?

Reading the title i thought about titles like mech engineer or the like where you almost have to read a 50 pages manual. Not Deep Rock Galactic 0.0

Here’s a fun thing you can do: just stop thinking about stats and make a character you’d like to bang, then just ooga booga it.

Baldur’s Gate 3 may be very daunting at first, even with its genius tooltip system, so I just went straight into it with a Dragonborn barbarian with no real thought put into it other than “he’s hot and totes my new fursona”. You’d be surprised at how far you get and how much you pick up naturally over the next 80 hours of gameplay.

That being said, it’s still not for everyone, as much as it tries to be, and if even Overwatch is too complex for you already, it might just be that the evolving game design in the industry is becoming more misaligned with your tastes, and that gamers are becoming more and more serious about the video games they play.

Haha I mentioned this elsewhere but that’s kinda what I did. Just picked random everything. I just feel like I’m going to get my ass kicked in the first altercation with a weak-ass character and be stuck there permanently.

Faydaikin,
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

Don’t worry too much about it. It’s part of the Role-Playing charm.

After my own first couple of playthroughs with “serious characters” I just started screwing around with fun builds.

The “Double Chaos” sorceror is fun and stupid way to complete the game. Sometimes I’m a doomsday machine in battle, others times I’m a sheep…

bipmi,

Unless you do obviously dumb things, like not doing anything at all and letting the enemies hit you, you literally could not fail at baldurs gate on default difficulty. I actually find it way too easy to succeed and far too forgiving. You could genuinely go through the whole game with your “picked random everything” character. Youll get your ass kicked a few times, but youll never get stuck anywhere. The only part thats complex is the story IMO. There are dozens of alternative endings and secret story bits and hidden interactions between characters. Almost every quest, no matter how small, has multiple endings. You could probably sink 1000 hours into BG3 without going through most of the story content.

Thank you

I wonder how long before someone starts getting offended on behalf of cavemen for the phrase Ooga Booga.

Seriously though, perhaps RPG’s just aren’t for OP. Some people get enjoyment from taking things slow, learning all the mechanics, and building the most powerful character possible within the limits of the game.

Many people choose not to cheat in games like this to give yourself max stats because that’s where the fun is, as opposed to a a game like borderlands, where an already maxxed out character can still be challenged with the endgame content which scales to their level.
